In Vitro Evaluation of Bioremediation Capacity of a Commercial Probiotic, Bacillus clausii, for Chromium (VI) and Lead (II) Toxicity
Abstract: Heavy metals cause disastrous effects on any living organisms. Probiotics have the ability to reduce metal toxicity. Commercial probiotics having bioremediation capacity can use these bacteria as an alternative to conventional remediation methods. The bioaccumulation of heavy metals including chromium (VI) (Cr [VI]) and lead (II) (Pb [II]) causes fatal toxicity in humans. Some naturally occurring bacterial species, such as Bacillus and Pseudomonas, contribute their role in bioremediation of these …

Nanocomposite Hydrogels for Water Purification
Abstract: DNA hydrogels have been demonstrated as versatile catalysts, potential adsorbents, sensors and immobilization carriers of bioactive molecules. They are a type of tenuous, semiflexible polymeric network that consists of precisely designed synthetic nucleotide strands as chemical or physical cross-linkers. Hydrogels have been widely studied due to their improved physicochemical properties and used as antibacterial platforms, wastewater pollutants, adsorbents and drug deliverers. Because of their biocompatibility and the ability to mix …

A Review on the Environmental Impacts of Wind Energy
Abstract: Human is well aware to habituate the wind energy since thousands of years, both for producing the power and soiling the boats at land. From all renewable strength resources, wind strength is best in term of industrial evolution due to its renewability and accessibility, this electricity source is appealing. Potency for evolution and improvement is significant, and the sector’s capacity is some distance bigger than the sector’s overall strength expenditure. …
